Thank You for visiting the world's largest fresh water island! I live outside of Gore Bay and regularly travel to my farm pasture at 13:50 (not the one with grain fields). The roadworks done this summer on that part of Hwy 540 is a travesty. Contractors tore up the pavement but left the rough surface far too long so that it formed a severe "washboarding" . When gravel was finally spread the oil stabilization failed to fill in the ruts so that it is now a permanently bumpy road. My family has been down Poplar Road many times to visit the south shore beach.
Thank you for letting me share that ride with you! Yes I was surprised at the road construction, I've been back and forth over the island for over 30 yrs, was expecting a nice relaxing cruise 🙂
